As part of the 27th round of the Belarusian championship, Vitebsk will host Shakhtar Soligorsk. Another victory for the guests?
"Vitebsk"
Vitebsk has lost its tournament motivation, as it will not get to the European Cup zone anymore, and it has broken away from the relegation zone by a huge distance. In the best case, it will be possible to take the sixth place, where the team is now. Vitebsk approaches the reporting confrontation with a 3-match series without victories, which started with a draw with Energetik-BSU (2-2), and then there were two more defeats - 0:4 from Isloch and 0:2 from Smorgon.
Shakhtar
The Miners are confidently rushing to the championship title, leading the standings with 62 points. The closest competitor in the person of BATE is seven points behind, and even played two more matches. Consequently, two wins will ensure Shakhtar the championship and turn the remaining four games into a formality. Before the match with Vitebsk, without five minutes, the champion won four victories in a row, coping alternately with Energetik-BSU (2-0), Neman (1-0), Dinamo Minsk (2-1) and Torpedo-BelAZ (3-1).
Statistics and figures:
- Vitebsk has not won for three matches;
- Shakhtar won in the previous four rounds;
- Shakhtar has not lost five matches to Vitebsk.
Forecast
Vitebsk is without motivation, and Shakhtar is striving to win two victories as soon as possible and become the champion ahead of schedule. In this confrontation, the guests should not have any difficulties with gaining three points.
